About Us
Arcadi Kolchak, Author
Arcadi Kolchak was inspired by the tragic loss of his beloved family dog, which the family had little to remember him by. Wanting to immortalize the memory of his own beloved pet rabbit, Fitz, who had recently developed cataracts, Arcadi combined his love for story-telling, poetry, and art into a pandemic project, “Fitz the Food Fanatic.” He plans to continue his efforts in sharing his love for pets with the world through additional poetic tales of the furry little friends we cannot live without.
